Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, CC2640R2F

Hi..

I am new to the e2e community forum. This is my first post

Anybody pls suggests me a development board containing following features.

1. IC can be driven using coin cell battery. 

2. it should contain 10-bit resolution  ADC Port - where 6 sensors need to be interfaced.

3. In built Bluetooth and Wi-Fi module. 

Thanks in Advance

    Hello Sarathi,

    First, welcome to E2E.  I'm glad I can assist you with your very first post. 

    So, from your description, there are several solutions we could propose, so I'd like to limit this initial discussion to a couple possibilities.  Please explore these to see how close they are to your needs and let us know what refinements might be required.  Just curious, is this to help with a new product development, or some type of experiment you are engaged with?

    Since you are asking for battery power (and coin cell at that, so assuming small size is important), let's start with the CC2650 Sensor Tag.  The Sensor Tag has a couple sensors that are monitored by the CC2650's ADC, and most likely you would have to modify the interface to get direct access, but I think it has most of the features you described: http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDC-CC2650-UTAG . Please explore all the Reference material on the page, including the Applications section. 

    At the high-end of Development Boards is the BeagleBone Black: http://www.ti.com/tool/beaglebk . It has a powerful processor and many interface plug-in modules known as 'capes'.  Please explore these options as well, let us know how applicable this would be.  Note that the main board does not run from a coin-cell, and is certainly larger than the Sensor Tag, but it has a lot of versatility and for system design concepts, it can be quite useful.  

    Please review these, let me know your thoughts and which direction to take.

    At your service,

    ~Leonard

    Hi Leonard..,

    Thank you for your reply.,

    I hope CC2650 Mcu will suitable for my work.

    Here it mentioned, Inclusion of Bluetooth in it.

    How to access it? Whether we need to place any external module or In built?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Sarathi,

    The Sensor Tag is self-contained.  It does have a JTag interface for programming.  The User's Guide has some reference information: http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/tidub25/tidub25.pdf . and from this page, more info: http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDC-CC2650-UTAG .

    Hi Sarathi,

    For development purposes I would highly recommend the CC2640R2 LaunchPad. It includes a built-in debugger and it also using the latest CC2640R2F devices with optimized ROM for BLE, including BT5 support. Additionally, the LaunchPad is much more development friendly than the SensorTag with all IOs exposed on pin headers.

    The LaunchPad does not come with a coin-cell holder, but you can easily connect the board to such a battery through the power supply headers on the board. The CC2640R2F is designed to run off coin cell batteries.

    Cheers,
    Fredrik

    Hi Leonard.

    Is there any other packages (CC2650) available other than VQFN package.

    Because I need to solder it manually to the PCB.

    If possible, please suggest me any other packages similar to Specification listed below:

    1. IC can be driven using coin cell battery.

    2. it should contain 10-bit resolution ADC Port - where 6 sensors need to be interfaced.

    3. In built Bluetooth and Wi-Fi module

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sarathi,

    As is stated in the datasheet, the CC26xx only comes in QFN packages. The CC2640R2F also comes as a WCSP, but that is more difficult to solder by hand.

    Using either a hot-plate or hot-air soldering iron it is not difficult to hand solder QFNs. There are plenty of instruction videos available on the web.

    Cheers,
    Fredrik
